Sermon series for Wednesday Night Worship for Quail Springs Baptist Church's Middle School Ministry in Oklahoma City || Middle School Pastor: Dylan Bone
Biblical Sexuality – God's Design God and His Word have Authority – 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 12:2This world/culture has no authorityAs a believer, our authority is Christ and His Word (all authority)His Word corrects us and guides usHis Word refines our worldviewHis Word trumps all other ideologies or culture biasesGod's Word does not wither and change with the season – 1 Peter 1:25, Isaiah 40:6-8God's Word is our source for Truth and wisdomWhy is this important? – The Creator of all creation is where Authority and truth is foundWe are Created by and in the Image of God – Genesis 1:26-27We are Created by and in the Image of God – Genesis 1:26-27We are created by GodWe are created in the image of GodWe have purpose through our creation and creatorThere is design and intent in creation, which includes usThe one who creates dictates and has authority over His creation and how they liveHumanity is the prize possession of creationWhy is this important? – We are created with meaning and on purpose. We must not disregard God's design and His authority over His design.We are Created either Male or Female – Genesis 2:15-25Adam is created out of dust in the image of GodAdam is created maleGod decided it is not good for man to be aloneEve is created from AdamEve is created femaleIn all of the creation that is mentioned, only two genders, male and femaleBoth male and female are under the rule and authority of their creatorThe idea that there are more than two genders is not based in biology or truth. Biological sex and gender were synonymous terms. They didn't become different in the culture's eyes until feminists in the 1960s pushed for gender to be about expression. Along with Gayle Rubin (creator of queer theory and pedo apologist) further pushed this idea in the 70's and 80's.Why is this important? – Our culture is making up terms and options that are not a part of God's design and simple biology. We must stand on God's Word and design and not accept the non-biblical worldviewWe are Created with Desire that is fulfilled within Parameters– Genesis 2:24-25Sexual desire is a goof gift…. Within the parameters of marriageBetween man and woman, husband and wifeGod's design is that it is within marriage, not snapchat, pre-marital, adulterous, texting, etc.We are called to self-controlSex is a a representation of wedding vowsOur holiness in our sexuality is a big deal to GodSeeking to fulfill sexual desires outside of God's plan will end up in dissatisfaction and hurtWhy is this important? – We all are created with this desire and the culture shows us many ways to try to fulfill it. It is important to know God's parameters in order to live a holy life as He has called us to.Discussion Questions:Do trust and submit to the authority of God's Word? What are the implications of that in this topic?Why is it important to know that we are created by an all-powerful and loving Creator?What do your students hear on the number of genders and pronouns? How and why do those not hold up to Scripture?Is sex good? Where is it designed emotionally, spiritually, and physically to be?Why is our holiness in our sexuality a big deal to God?In light of what you have just learned about God's design for sexuality, can you articulate His design and purpose?

We see three commands in the Great Commission: Recognize the Lordship of Jesus Respond in Obedience Rely on the Holy Spirit
